nādharmajaṁ tad-dhṛdayaṁ
nādharmajaṁ tad-dhṛdayaṁ
tad apīśāṅghri-sevayā
Sins are destroyed by austerity, charity and vows but the root of sin is not destroyed. However by bhakti to the Lord, even the root of sin, namely desire, is destroyed.
By such atonements sins are destroyed (pūyante). The verbal root is puṁ, which means “to destroy.” However these atonements do not destroy the subtle root (hṛdayam) of the sins (adharmajam). By serving the feet of the Lord, by bhakti to the Lord, by one method such as chanting among the nine processes, the root of sin is destroyed, since chanting destroys even the desires for sin.

ajñānād athavā jñānād
uttamaśloka-nāma yat
saṅkīrtitam aghaṁ puṁso
dahed edho yathānalaḥ
Chanting the name of the Lord with or without knowledge of its powers destroys a man’s sins, just as fire destroys dry grass.
“But chanting in this way is not done with knowledge that it is atonement.” Just as fire lit innocently by a child burns dry grass, so chanting without knowledge burns up heaps of sins.
|| 6.2.19 ||
yathāgadaṁ vīryatamam
upayuktaṁ yadṛcchayā
ajānato 'py ātma-guṇaṁ
kuryān mantro 'py udāhṛtaḥ
Just as powerful medicine when taken without knowledge of its powers still produces its effects quickly, so chanting the name of the Lord also produces effects quickly, without knowing its powers.
Not only does the name destroy sin, but it bestows prema for the Lord. Another example is given. Vīryatamam stands for vīryavattamam (having the most power). Omission of vat is poetic license. Yadṛcchayā means suddenly, without knowing. Strong medicine taken (upayuktam) without knowing, produces its qualities of curing disease, giving strength and nourishment. Similarly the name, the uttered form of mantra, or a mantra composed of the name of the Lord, when chanted, gives its effects. One does not have to know the powers of the name in order for it to have effect.
